- mootothemax 13y agoNo one in their right mind would want to support the Twitter or Facebook API's... This could be done sensibly though: limit the number of emails per month; or only include support in higher-priced plans. eBay's API can be pretty tricky at times, and if you want any help that doesn't involve using their forums, it costs $75/hour: http://developer.ebay.com/join/pricing/ http://developer.ebay.com/join/pricing/
- brown9-2 13y agoI don't follow. Why does any company implement and support a pay-for-access API then? I'm sure there are folks at Square or Stripe who are happy to support their API. I think employees would be happy to support an API, if it is a revenue producing product.
- frogpelt 13y agoNonsense. They wouldn't be bound to anything. There are people making millions using these APIs now with no support. Why would charging them $25/month suddenly require support?
